put into it, including using a hot knife to rip out part of the face plate and shaping in a replacement.\u00a0 Copious amounts of hot glue were also used, for things like attaching Velcro strips.\u00a0 Franklin ran the <a title=\"EL Wire info on Adafruit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/categories\/78\" target=\"_blank\">EL Wire <\/a>through a varity of holes, and the <a title=\"NeoPixel items on Adafruit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/search?q=neopixel\" target=\"_blank\">NeoPixel <\/a>rings controlled by the <a title=\"GEMMA info on Adafruit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/products\/1222\" target=\"_blank\">Arduino-based GEMMA <\/a>were positioned in a respirator-like piece on the front.\u00a0 The overall look was quite realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin re-programmed the GEMMA to do two very interesting things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He expanded the sample code to include a couple more flashing patterns, and attached a pushbutton switch to change from one to the next, including a common &#8220;transition&#8221; flash at each mode change.<\/li>\n<li>He further expanded the use of the button so when it is pressed down for over half of the transition cycle, the brightness of the LEDs would increase incrementally from quarter to third to half power, then back to quarter.\u00a0 This allowed the LEDs to be bright enough to be clearly seen outdoors, but reduced in brightness when indoors &#8211; to save on battery load and not be &#8220;too bright to look at&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_216\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141031_185630151_iOS.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-216\" data-attachment-id=\"216\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/?attachment_id=216#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141031_185630151_iOS.jpg?fit=1280%2C960\" data-orig-size=\"1280,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1414756590&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.18&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20141031_185630151_iOS\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Gas Mask selfie!&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141031_185630151_iOS.jpg?fit=670%2C503\" class=\"wp-image-216 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141031_185630151_iOS.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"Gas Mask selfie!\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141031_185630151_iOS.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141031_185630151_iOS.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141031_185630151_iOS.jpg?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gas Mask selfie!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We&#8217;ll update this post with more pics and info later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NeoPixel Gas Mask from the Adafruit Learning Center was completed and Franklin wore it to Day 1 of the Arizona Fur Con.\u00a0 It was quite a hit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,28,3],"tags":[35,34,33,36,31],"class_list":["post-208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-taz4","category-npgm","category-pla","tag-adafruit","tag-afc","tag-arizona-fur-con","tag-gas-mask","tag-neopixel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3d.rayharwood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/AFC-Picture-cropped.png?fit=683%2C931","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p76pQa-3m","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=208"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220,"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions\/220"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/3d.rayharwood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
